 * Symbol possible vote.svg Dates, lengths, and sourcing all look good. The problem with the nomination is in the hook.  The hook appears to be based upon a list of locations this mineral has been discovered as listed in this source.  The problem is that the hook then extrapolates from this list of places where the mineral has been discovered to concluded that the mineral has never been discovered in any location not listed by this single source (“absence of proof is not proof of absence”). --Allen3 talk 15:05, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * How about, ALT1 = ... that sérandite (pictured) was discovered in Guinea, described in a French journal, and the type material resides in Washington, D.C.? Chris857 (talk) 15:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg ALT1 looks good to go. AGF due to my limited understanding of the French language source, everything else looks good. --Allen3 talk 16:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
